What it’s like
The place. Morrisville is a very small Missouri town in Polk County, in the Ozarks country of the southwest part of the state. Homes here are priced well above what the county's incomes would suggest, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January highs a little above freezing and lows well below it. Summers turn hot by July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. A small number work from home. Across Polk County, the largest workplaces include Citizens Memorial Hospital District, Southwest Baptist University and Bolivar R-I Schools. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Slagle Creek, Asher Creek and Tommie Creek all run in or beside town, and Walnut Creek is a short drive away. The Ozark Cavefish National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Pomme de Terre Lake is a reservoir a longer drive off, and Fantastic Caverns is a tourist attraction a longer drive away as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Morrisville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Polk County and the Springfield, MO metro.
